* BaseBreaker: Oh boy. Grab an [[ProductPlacement Absolut Vodka]] and sit down. This'll take a while. And due to the flexible/nonexistant nature of fourth wall on the show most of these apply ''both'' in-universe and out.

* ArcFatigue: Season 5's Alyssa vs Coco rivalry sure felt this way for a lot of fans. Many got the notion that Ru was hoping for a repeat of the Sharon vs Phi Phi dynamic that was so popular from the previous season, but as Alyssa and Coco never really got into the details of their falling out, add to that the fact neither were all that fantastic when it came to comedy or acting which consisted of the majority of the challenges in Season 5, a lot of viewers just got sick of their fued and hoped one or both of them would finally go home and end it.

** Alaska repeatedly saving Roxxxy Andrews from elimination in [=AS2=]: Was she just being a loyal friend and saving Roxxxy because she really believed she had more to offer and deserved to stay? Or was she trying to covertly eliminate some stronger competitors (Alyssa and Tatianna) and keep Roxxxy in the game because she knew she could beat her in the final? Tati's second elimination is especially suspect, as Alaska goes on at length about how fierce and talented Tati is before eliminating her, but says nothing about Roxxxy.

*** Come All-Stars 2, Snatch Game is now the second challenge, and since there were only 10 queens to begin with, now it's back to the usual 9 Snatch Game contestants.

*** Come All-Stars 2, Snatch Game is now was moved to the second challenge, and episode; since there were the season only had 10 queens to begin with, now it seems it's back meant to be played with 9 queens again. However, due to Adore Delano's unforeseen departure at the usual 9 Snatch Game contestants.beginning of the episode, it was once again played with only 8.

** In Season 4's "Queens Behind Bars" sitcom challenge, celebrity guest Max Mutchnick wasn't a fan of Sharon either, saying "I hate the name, I hate the look, nobody wants to go to a drag show to see the little girl from ''Film/TheRing''!" Sharon not only won the season, but is one of the most popular winners to date. Even if she hadn't won, Mutchnick's statement was extremely uninformed; goth drag has been around ages. Though to be fair, Sharon ''did'' clash with him during the challenge and he may have still been agitated from that.

** Also in Season 4, Phi Phi O'Hara commented that Sharon Needles was the weakest and would be sent home on the first day. Sharon ended up winning the first challenge, three more challenges in future episodes, and then the entire season.

** Phi Phi O'Hara got this HARD in Season 4. While she certainly had moments where she was manipulative and needlessly bitchy, the two queens she had the most conflict with were Sharon Needles and Willam, who by many accounts are not the easiest people to get along with. Her return to All Stars 2 had her hoping to shed this designation, but it didn't work out. Although in the case of AS2, fans are more split on if Phi Phi was really getting a bad edit, or if she has more fault then she's willing to admit and is trying to pass blame onto the show.

** Some argue that Rebecca Glasscock was this in the first season, as Ru admitted outright she was 'blinded by her beauty' and the judges state on-camera that they think they probably gave her a pass when she just wasn't anywhere near the same level as Nina and Bebe.

** In All Stars 2, many fans felt Alaska was getting an unfair amount of praise and was practically being set up to win from the first episode. Even fans who really like Alaska just felt the show was being too heavy-handed in making Alaska look good and giving her lipsynch wins to tip the scales to make sure Alaska would obviously win, when they argue Alaska didn't need to be shilled so much to do well.
